Scott Wilson will emulate one of his rugby heroes tonight if he makes his Ulster debut in the big inter-provincial clash with Munster at Kingspan Stadium.

The 21-year-old tight head prop has been drafted on to Ulster’s bench as Dan McFarland’s side face an injury crisis in the front row for the visit of the defending league champions.

Ireland props Marty Moore and Tom O’Toole are both injured, plus summer signing James French suffered a concussion in last week’s defeat against Connacht leaving Greg McGrath as the only fit senior tight head in the squad.

Wilson, a former U20s Grand Slam winner, has been named among the replacements as cover for Greg McGrath.
